in thread Script to check for multiple files on FTP and print the one missing

Are you using Net::FTP?
Because that its documentation says that $ftp->ls($dir) returns a directory listing.
Assuming that to be the case, then something like this should work.
use strict; use warnings; my @files_to_check = ( 'abc.txt', 'xyz.txt', 'efg.txt' ); # list +of files to check my @directory_listing = $ftp->ls($dir); my %files_on_FTP_server; foreach my $file (@directory_listing) { # extra processing here? $files_on_FTP_server{$file} = 1; } foreach my $file (@files_to_check) { if ( ! $files_on_FTP_server{$file} ) { print "File $file is missin +g\n"; } }
However, as I do not know the format of @directory_listing, you might need some extra processing where indicated on line 12.
If @directory_listing contains a line of info for each file, you'd need a regexp to extract the file from each line, and you'd change line 10 from
foreach my $file (@directory_listing) to:
foreach my $line (@directory_listing)
